This book develops a critical intervention in the politics of time of anticolonial aesthetics. The chapters argue that anticolonialism should not be bounded to a specific historical moment; rather, it should be seen as a fertile, radical tradition going beyond the specific event of decolonization and informing utopian and radical futures.
This book develops a critical intervention in the politics of time of anticolonial aesthetics. Engaging with recent debates on cultural activism and postcolonial and decolonial studies, the main objective of the volume is to examine the ways in which anticolonial cultural analysis and production keeps nurturing contemporary processes of progressive social transformation. The chapters in the volume argue that anticolonialism should not be bounded to a specific historical moment (that of postcolonial nation-building); rather, it should be seen as a fertile, radical tradition going beyond the specific event of decolonization and informing utopian and radical futures.The thirteen essays engage with this argument from a wide variety of disciplines, including film studies, art history, literary criticism, and cultural and visual studies and is intended for scholars, activists, and students across disciplines who are interested in the intersections of culture, politics, and social change.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Interventions.
